Ушел из жизни бывший президент Ирана Рафсанджани

Как сообщают СМИ, в возрасте 82 лет умер бывший президент Ирана Али Акбар Хашеми Рафсанджани, доминирующая фигура в политике страны с 1980 года.

Г-н Рафсанджани был доставлен в больницу в воскресенье после сердечного приступа.

Он занимал пост президента Ирана с 1989 по 1997 год. В 2005 году, вступив в очередной раз в гонку за кресло, он уступил Махмуду Ахмадинежаду. Однако, г-н Рафсанджани оставался важной личностью в иранском политическом истеблишменте и до самой своей смерти возглавлял Совет целесообразности, который выступает в качестве связующего звена для разрешения споров между парламентом Ирана и Советом Стражей, который считается защитником ценностей иранской исламской революции.
